BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field

The present invention relates to a nitrogen-containing tricyclic compound useful as a medicine, a medicine containing the same and processes for producing the same. More particularly, it relates to a novel nitrogen-containing tricyclic compound useful as a medicine for diseases against which the effect of inhibiting the binding of IgE receptor γ to a tyrosine kinase of 72 kDa is efficacious.

2. Prior Art

The bronchial asthma and the atopic diseases in human beings appear in consequence of highly intriacate vital reactions. It is suspected that most of these conditions are caused because various chemical mediators liberated from mast cells and basophils, as triggered by antigen-antibody reactions, induce vital disturbances as by contracting such smooth muscles as bronchial muscles and vessels of the pulmonary circulation or enhancing permeability of blood vessels.

As the chemical mediators liberated from mast cells and basophils, histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandins, TNF, etc. have been known. It is well known that histamine, among other substances mentioned above, is the most significant chemical mediator for the allergic rhinitis and the urticaria in human beings. The leucotrienes comprise leucotrienes B₄, C₄, and D₄ and the relation thereof with the asthmatic convulsion has been attracting attention.

Heretofore, the development of medicines for the prevention, alleviation, or elimination of the crisis of symptoms of allergic diseases has been aimed at repressing the creation and liberation of such chemical mediators or antagonizing the effects thereof.

Sodium cromoglycate (Intal™) having been marketed since 1969 is a typical example of these drugs.

However, the conventional antiallergic agents typified by Intal™ show difference in the chemical mediator liberation inhibitory concentration between in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, sensitivities to these drugs widely vary from patient to patient and their action mechanisms still remain unknown in many points.

Mast cells and basophils closely relating to allergic diseases have a highly affinitive receptor, FcEεRI, for the IgE antibody on the cell membrane thereof. IgE antibody's binding to this receptor forms a cross-linkage with the corresponding polyvalent antigen, the intracellular signal transmission mechanism is activated. Then histamine is liberated or leukotrienes and prostaglandins are formed and liberated, thus inducing the onset of the so-called allergic symptoms. It is further more considered that the cytokines such as TNF and interleukins thus produced interact with other cells and thus make the diseases chronic.

Under these circumstances, the present inventors have paid their attention to the activation of a non-receptor type tyrosine kinase located at the early stage in the activation of the intracellular signal transmission mechanism upon liberation of chemical mediators from mast cells or basophils. It is known that this tyrosine kinase is activated when it binds to the phosphorylated tyrosine activation motif (TAM) region in the IgE receptor γ chain. By inhibiting this binding to thereby inhibit the activation of the tyrosine kinase of 72 kDa, the activation of the intracellular signal transmission mechanism depending on the IgE antibody in mast cells or basophils can be inhibited. As a result, also the liberation of the above chemical mediators can be inhibited. The present inventors have found out that desired objects can be achieved by using nitrogen-containing tricyclic compounds represented by the following formula (I), thus completing the present invention.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The compounds of the present invention can be produced by combining generally known methods. Now, main processes generally usable for producing the compounds of the present invention will be illustrated.

Production Process 1

Compounds of the formula (I) wherein Z is —S(O)_(y)— and Q is —NR²⁰R²¹ can be produced by the following process.

i) A phenothiazine derivative represented by the formula (II) synthesized by a publicly known method [for example, those described in J. Org. Chem., 20, 1577 (1955).; ibid., 35, 4254 (1970).; J. Chem. Soc., (C) 2437 (1970).; and Chem. Ind., 238 (1966).] is reacted in the presence of a base with a compound represented by the formula (III) having leaving groups at both ends to thereby give a phenothiazine derivative represented by the formula (IV). Preferable examples of the base usable herein include sodium hydride, n-butyllithium and t-butoxypotassium. Preferable examples of the leaving groups include halogeno and sulfonate. Any reaction solvent may be used therefor, so long as it remains inert during the reaction. Next, the leaving group L′ in the compound (IV) is substituted by phthalimide. The resulting phthalimide compound represented by the formula (V) is then treated with hydrazine hydrate to give an amine compound represented by the general formula (VI). Next, this amine compound (VI) is condensed under dehydration with an aldehyde compound (VII: wherein R represents alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl or heteroaryl). The Schiff base thus obtained is then treated with a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride to give an alkylamine compound represented by the formula (VIII). Any reaction solvent may be used therefor, so long as it remains inert during the reaction.

Alternatively, the phthalimide compound (V) serving as an intermediate may be synthesized in the following manner. Namely, the compound (II) is reacted with a compound having a leaving group L at one end and a protected hydroxyl group at another end to give a compound represented by the formula (IV′). Subsequently, the compound (IV′) is deblocked in a conventional manner to give an alcohol (IV″), which is then reacted with phthalimide under the conditions of the Mitsunobu reaction to give a phthalimide compound.

ii) The compound (IV) is treated with a primary or secondary amine, or the compound (VI) is treated with a compound having a leaving group L (IX and/or X′) to give a compound represented by the formula (X).

iii) A sulfoxide compound (XI) and a sulfonyl compound (XII) can be produced by oxidizing the sulfur atoms in the compounds (VIII) and (IX) or oxidizing the sulfur atom in the stage of the intermediate (IV) or (VI) in the process of the above i) or ii) followed by appropriate reactions.

Production Process 2

Compounds of the formula (I) wherein Z is —C(═NOR¹²)— or —C(═NNR¹³R¹⁴) and Q is —NR²⁰R²¹ can be produced by the following process.

An acridone compound (XIII) synthesized by a publicly known method (for example, the one described in JP-A 7-3161359) is reacted with a compound (III) to give a compound (XIV). Next, this compound (XIV) is reacted with potassium phthalimide to give a compound (XV). Then the compound (XV) is reacted with oxalyl chloride. The acridinium salt thus obtained is reacted with a hydroxylamine derivative (R¹²ONH₂: wherein R¹² is as defined above) or a hydrazine derivative (R¹³R¹⁴NNH₂: wherein R¹³ and R¹⁴ are each as defined above) to give a compound represented by the formula (XVI) or (XVI′). Then the obtained compound is reacted with hydrazine hydrate to give a primary amine compound represented by the formula (XVII) or (XVII′). Further, secondary or tertiary amines can be produced in accordance with the methods of i) of ii) in the above production process 1.

Production Process 3

Compounds represented by the formula (I) wherein Z is —C(═CR¹⁶R¹⁷)— and Q is —NR²⁰R²¹ can be produced by the following process.

The compound represented by the formula (XIV) given in the production process 2 is reacted with a metal compound M—CHR¹⁶R¹⁷ (wherein M means a metal and R¹⁶ and R¹⁷ are each as defined above such as alkyl lithium, etc.) to give an acridan compound represented by the formula (XVIII). Next, this product is treated in the same manner as the one described in the production process 1 ii) to give an amine compound represented by the formula (IX).

Production Process 4

Compounds represented by the formula (I) wherein Z is —C(═O)N(R¹⁵)— or —N(R¹⁵C(═O)— and Q is —NR²⁰R²¹ can be produced by the following process.

The procedure of the step i) or ii) in the production process 1 was repeated while replacing the phenothiazine derivative represented by the formula (II) employed in the production process 1 by a dibenzodiazepine derivative (XX or XX′) produced by a publicly known method [Indian J. Chem., 23B, 85 (1984).] or Production Example 13 or 14. Thus a compound represented by the formula (XXI or XXI′) can be obtained.

Production Process 5

Compounds of the formula (I) wherein Q is heteroaryl can be produced by the following process.

The compound represented by the formula (XXII) obtained by the production processes 1, 2, 3 and 4 and having a leaving group L′ is treated with magnesium to give a Grignard reagent. Next, this Grignard reagent is reacted with an optionally substituted heteroaryl halide derived from, e.g., pyridine or pyrimidine in the presence of 1,3-bis (diphenylphosphino)propane nickel dichloride [Ni(dppp)Cl₂] to give a compound represented by the formula (XXIV).

Production Process 6

Compounds of the formula (I) wherein Q is optionally substituted carbamoyl, acyl or optionally protected carboxy can be produced by the following process.

The compound represented by the formula (XXII) obtained by the production processes 1, 2, 3 and 4 and having a leaving group L′ is treated with a reagent for cyanation such as sodium cyanide in the presence of a base to give a nitrile compound (XXV), which is then hydrolyzed to give an unsubstituted carbamoyl compound (XXVI) or an ester or carboxylic acid represented by the formula (XXVII). A substituted carbamoyl compound (XXVIII) can be obtained by alkylating or aralkylating the unsubstituted carbamoyl compound (XXVI) or reacting the ester or a reactive derivative (acid halide, reactive ester, etc.) derived from the carboxylic acid in a conventional manner with a primary or a secondary amine. A protected carboxyl compound can be obtained by reacting the reactive derivative derived from the carboxylic acid with an alcohol derivative.

To illustrate the usefulness of the present invention, pharmacological experimental examples will be given.

Pharmacological Experimental Examples

(1) Inbihitory Effects on Various Mediators Release From Rat Basophilic Leukemia Cell Line (RBL-2H3)

i) Experimental Method

IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 cells (i.e., a cell line originating in rat cells) release and produce not only histamine and serotonin but also cytokines such as TNF α and prostaglandins which are inflammatory mediators after stimulation with IgE sepecific antibody. In this experimental system, inhibitory effects on various mediators release were examined by using serotonin as an indication.

The cells were beforehand labeled with [³H]-labeled serotonin and, at the same time, sensitized with the IgE antibody. After incubating with the compounds of the present invention, the cells were stimulated with the specific antigen. Then the inhibitory activity of each compound was calculated from the amount of the [³H]-labeled serotonin thus liberated into the medium and the amount of [³H]-labeled serotonin liberated when no compound of the present invention was added.

ii) Results of the Experiment

The results are shown in Tables 1 to 3.

(2) Inhibitory Effects on Various Mediators Release from Human Basophils

i) Experimental Method

6 ml of 6% dextran (for separating leukocytes, having a high molecular weight) was added to 20 ml of heparinized blood. After stirring well, the resulting mixture was allowed to stand at 37° C. for 30 min and thus erythrocytes were precipitated. The upper layer was taken up and phosphate buffered saline (D-PBS) was added thereto followed by centrifugation at 185 g for 8 minutes to give a crude leukocyte fraction. These cells were subjected to hypotonic hematolysis and then suspended in D-PBS(+) containing 0.1%-BSA. The resulting suspension was used in the subsequent experiment as the leukocyte fraction containing basophils. 0.4 ml of this cell suspension was preliminarily heated to 37° C. for 5 min and then 0.05 ml of a specimen solution was added thereto followed by a pretreatment at 37° C. for 15 min. Next, 0.05 ml of a mite antigen solution was added thereto to induce an antigen-antibody reaction. After 10 min, the reaction was ceased by ice-cooling. Then the reaction mixture was centrifuged at 185 g for 10 min and histamine and peptide leukotrienes in the resulting supernatant were determined by using enzyme immunoassay kits. From the results of the assay, the activities of the acridone derivatives of inhibiting the liberation of histamine and peptide leukotriene were determined.

ii) Results of the Experiment

The results are given in Tables 4 to 7 wherein the term “leukotriene” means peptide leukotriene.

(3) Inhibitory Effects on the Interaction Between IgE Receptor γ Chain and 72 kDa Tyrosine Kinase

i) Experimental Method

RBL-2H3 cells which are a cell line generally used in studying IgE-mediated intracellular signal transduction in mast cells and basophils were used in this study. Tyrosine-phosphorylated peptide in the tyrosine activation motif (TAM) region in the IgE receptor γ chain was synthesized by Peptide Institute.

In the experiment, cell lysates or cytosolic fraction of RBL-2H3 cells were used. Cell lysates were prepared by solubilizing 1×10⁷ to 5×10⁷ cells with a solution containing various protease inhibitors and 1%-NP-40 as a solubilizer. Separately, the cells were homogenized in a Downs homogenizer and centrifuged at 50,000 rpm for 1 hr, and the resulting supernatant was used as the cytosol fraction of the cells. The concentration of the lysate or cytosol was adjusted to 1 mg protein/ml with an isotonic buffer. The phosphorylation experiment of the 72 kDa tyrosine kinase contained in the lysate or cytosol was carried out in the following manner.

An assay buffer [150 mM NaCl, 10 mM KCl, 20 mM Tris (pH 7.5), 0.6 mM MnCl₂, 0.5 mM EGTA, 5 mM NaF, 1 mM sodium pyrophosphate and 1 mM sodium orthovanadate] containing the lysate or cytosol in an amount corresponding to 10 mg of protein was incubated together with the compound 101 at 30° C. for 3 min. After adding 50 mM of the peptide in the TAM region containing the phosphorylated tyrosine and 50 mM of ATP, the incubation was further effected at 30° C. for 15 min. After the completion of the reaction, the sample was electrophoresed on a 10% agarose gel and a tyrosine kinase of 72 kDa was separated. The activation of this kinase was confirmed by examining the phosphorylation of the tyrosine moiety in the kinase per se by western blotting with the use of anti-tyrosine phosphorylation antibody. Then the extent of the phosphorylation was numerically expressed by using an image analyzer and thus the tyrosine kenase phosphorylation inhibitory ratio of the compound 101 was determined.

(4) Effect of Inhibiting Activation (Phosphorylation) of Tyrosine Kinase of 72 kDa Due to Antigenic Stimulation in RBL-2H3 Cells

i) Experimental Method

RBL-2H3 cells were incubated for 10 min together with a test compound in a PBS buffer containing 0.1% of BSA and 1 mM of calcium. Next, the cells were reacted with an antigen specific for the IgE receptor for 10 min. After the completion of the antigenic stimulation, the cells were allowed to stand in ice for 1 hr in a 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) containing a lysis buffer (1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 50 mM NaCl, 50 mM NaF, 1 mM phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride, 50 μg/ml eupeptin, 10 unit/ml aprotonin) and 0.1% of NaN₃ followed by centrifugation to give a cell lysate. This lysate was diluted with a buffer for electrophoresis, heated (95° C., 5 min) and then electrophoresed on a 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel. After the electrophoresis, the sample was electrically transcribed onto a 0. 2 μm nitrocellulose membrane and treated with an anti-phosphotyrosine antibody for 1 hr. Then the inhibitory activity was evaluated by the coloring analysis through chemiluminescence.

ii) Results of the Experiment

The results are given in Table 9.

Example 22 1,2-Dimethyl-10-(3-benzylaminoptopyl)-phenothiazine-5-oxide

A solution of 1.5 g of 1,2-dimethyl-10-(3-aminopropyl)phenothiazine-5-oxide obtained in Example 8 and 580 mg of benzaldehyde in 60 ml of toluene was stirred under reflux for 2 hr while using a water separator. Then the mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. After adding 60 ml of ethanol and sodium borohydride successively, the reaction mixture was stirred under ice cooling for 10 min. After adding water, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After evaporating the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was washed with diethyl ether to give 1.9 g of the title compound.

Example 103 1,2-Dimethyl-10-[3-(4-morpholino)propyl]phenothiazine-5-oxide

0.6 g of 1,2-dimethyl-10-(3-chloropropyl)phenothiazine-5-oxide obtained in Production Example 3, 260 ml of morpholine, a catalytic amount of triethylammonium iodide and 410 mg of potassium carbonate were added to 5 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide followed by stirring at 90° C. for 4 hr. Then the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. After adding water, the liquid reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After evaporating the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 430 mg of the title compound.

To 144 mg of 1,2-dimethyl-10-[3-[N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)methylamino]propyl]phenothiazine-5-oxide obtained by the same procedure as that of Example 22 were added 1 ml portions of formic acid and a 37% solution of formaldehyde followed by stirred under reflux for 3.5 hr. After adding water, the reaction mixture was basified by adding a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. Then it was extracted with methylene chloride and the organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous solution and dried over sodium sulfate. After evaporating the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to give 120 mg of the title compound.
